How to handle family situation (In Laws)
With my partner at his family's home. Nobody knows I'm pregnant. I'm really struggling with nausea and food aversions. Everyone wants to get takeaway. Indian or Chinese, neither things that I can eat right now as they both make me feel sick. I told my partner just tell your family I don't want either options but that is okay she will sort herself out.
He keeps saying, well what if they ask me why? What if they ask me X? What if this. I said i need you to handle it, I don't know what I can eat right now. I need you to handle it so you take the stress away from me. I can't deal with, I don't know what to eat.
Just feel awkward. Honestly being around others in the 1st trimester when they don't know is a nightmare!

It's honestly a bit stressful. I have been through a similar situation but then I just started buying my own food even before people start suggesting what to eat/cook for lunch or dinner... It's a bit more difficult with nausea because you really don't know what to eat.
I found bland food to be more tolerable - potatoes, sourdough bread and some types of pasta... obviously not the healthiest choice but I swear they were the only things that didn't make me nauseous.
I know people's bodies and pregnancy experiences are different but I do hope you can find the right foods for you at this moment. Good luck 🤞🏾
Thank you, I did that at lunch time. And guess what...they decided to eat my food that I bought. 😒 lol you just start looking difficult
I would just tell them the truth honestly! We had to tell some people this time, on a need to know basis
One of the reasons why we told people earlier this time round, I didn’t want to lie or have the stress of acting like I’m okay 😅
